Question about matching bolts with Savage Enfield's

[Schneider27]

Hey guys..got a small question for you : Is it common for a Savage built Lee-Enfield to have a non matching bolt ?

I'm thinking about buying a Savage no4mk1* who seem in really good shape with non matching serial numbers..

Thank you very much for your replies !

No more likely to be mismatched than any other Lee Enfield. Left Savage with a matching bolt, who knows where, when or why the bolt was replaced.

As long as headspaces ok, then only thing greatly affected is "collector" value.
